Thank you Bill but it shows they are sold out of the hard back books. I may need to settle for a paper back.

Phil, don't buy a paperback. The pictures in the hardback edition are astounding and won't be the same in a copy. The paperback will be worth about $2.00 a week after you get it. Hang on, someone will come up with one.

Its amazing that a gun with such beautiful engraving could have such a junk stock on it. I would be tempted to save that one too.

When things settle down tonight I will post a few better pictures. Any thoughts on the barrel and flat markings?
Wayne I appreciate the offer, may need to take you up on it if I can not find a hardback, will look at the web sites suggested tonight. Bill you are right, hard back is always the best way to go as picture quality is so much nicer. I really appreciate the help on the A Parker site. Nothing like it any where. Looking forward to meeting many of you in Vegas.
I will be looking at blanks tomorrow to see if a I can find one locally fitting of the gun.
I have a line on some good stock if it's still available.

The latest edition of The Double Gun Journal has an ad for them on page 108.

According to Charles' serial number chronology 121252 would be of 1901 vintage.

Dave possibly I am over thinking this. Is there Paper backs, hard backs, and then the leather bound? If these on DoubleGun are hard backs I will get this ordered right away. Dave what's your thoughts on the chamber markings?
